LRD paper leak: Key accused nabbed

A joint team of officials of Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) and the Ahmedabad Crime Branch on Saturday arrested Virendra Mathur, key accused in the Lok Rakshak Dal (LRD) paper leak case that led to postponement of exam for 9,713 posts in December last year.

The team first surveyed the premises where Mathur was staying and arrested him from Rohini area of Delhi on April 6. Cops said he changed his appearance and residence very often, making it difficult to trace him.

Sources in the ATS said they had come to know at the outset that there was an inter-state gang in the business of leaking government exam papers by selling the solved answer sheets to prospective candidates for huge sums of money. AM
